For Vince, Eric, Drama, and Turtle, life in Hollywood's fast lane can be an intoxicating ride. In Season Five, can the guys put the Medellin fiasco behind them and orchestrate a career comeback for Vince?

Entourage's fifth season leaves our movie star in a pickle: his big Oscar shot, Medellin, is a dismal failure, and Vincent (Adrian Grenier) has burrowed away to Mexico to drown his sorrows in booze and women. How does a once-promising actor get his confidence, legitimacy, and bankability back? That's the key premise this time around, and like some of its previous seasons, is always more interesting when Vince is struggling than when he's on top. Once his crew--manager Eric (Kevin Connolly), big brother Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon), agent Ari (Jeremy Piven), and driver Turtle (Jerry Ferrara)--convince Vince to get back in the game, he finds many once-welcoming doors closed. He eagerly takes a meeting with Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont (playing himself), only to feel insulted when he finds it's for a TV pilot. (His subsequent options? Appearing at a Sweet Sixteen party and doing a Benji movie.) Once a promising script about firefighters (called Smokejumpers) piques Vince's interest, ensuing episodes become a complex chess game of job-hopping, backdoor-dealing, and back-scratching, which is always Entourage's strength. As Vince watches his star fade, Grenier gets a chance to let his sunny optimism crack, even sitting in Ari's office and begging to be told he's a good actor.

The celebrity guest stars are plentiful and more integral this season. Jason Patric--playing himself--lampoons his difficult on-set reputation brilliantly as Vince's co-star in Smokejumpers. (The onetime Speed 2 star brags about being offered the lead in Aquaman 2, but turned it down: "Sequels, water: they're not for me.") Stellan Skarsgard (Good Will Hunting) plays a famous German director who clashes with Vince; Jamie-Lynn Sigler (The Sopranos) cameos as a new love interest for Turtle; Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) reprises her Season One role as an aspiring singer, and Eric Roberts plays himself (who happens to deal 'shrooms on the side) in a wacky episode involving the guys' drug-fueled night of reflection at Joshua Tree. Even Mark Wahlberg, the show's producer and inspiration, plays himself in a golf scene with former agent Ari (priceless line: "What about when you told me you liked The Truth About Charlie?"). The only unwelcome cameo is in "Seth Green Day," in which the actor turns up for no other reason than to re-surface his war with Eric and annoy everyone to death. Extras include cast commentaries and a behind-the-scenes featurette. --Ellen A. Kim

It's entertaining but I wouldn't look for much else. I kept hoping the acting of Vince would get better to fit the roles he's getting but I guess coasting on pretty is universal. Jeremy Pevin is great but he also has the best role. I was irritated by the "trippers" episode because it was a complete rip off of story and shots of Oliver Stone's Doors movie. It wasn't the first Doors reference. Vince can have a passing resemblance at times to Jim Morrison and Kevin Dillon was in the Doors movie. Hate the Johnny Drama character, thought he might grow, but that's probably the point.

Despite the vulgar ongoing commentary demeaning women and gay men....it's a great peek into the inner workings of Hollywood, the attitudes and decadence of the stars, and the erratic ups and downs of their lives. The cast is amazing. In fairness, their female characters are strong and powerful, and Ari's gay assistant wields far more power than he might convey, but that doesn't seem to dampen the relentless female and gay verbal bashing. If you are looking for something light and funny as opposed to all of the intensely serious and depressing series that dominate, and you can roll with the bashing, I say go for this one! The music is unparalleled and it is the one episode introduction that I actually find enjoyable show after show and not annoying. Overhead shot of suicide doors ....oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeahhhhhh. Notice the great shots of the "entourage" powering through hallways, down sidewalks, etc.... lends credence to the perfection of the title!

Entourage has become a favorite show of mine. The quality of this was delivered exceptionally well, even with our poor internet here in Alaska. I don't think Entourage is comparable to anything else I've ever watched. I love Ari Gold and watching Vince's movie star career's ups and downs throughout this series! I would recommend this for anyone who is a womanizer - because that is exactly what they are.

I love that the actors stay the same throughout the series, I love watching them - I just wish that the episodes were a little longer.

One of HBOs best shows ever! Definitely R-rated, so don't watch with your kids, but it's hilarious and keeps a good storyline through the seasons.

Like most people, I rely on honest product reviews to make purchase decisions. Because the experience of others has been so helpful to me, I try to provide honest, helpful reviews to assist other shoppers in selecting the right products for them. I hope my review has been helpful to you!

Great show... Adrian Grenier, Kevin Connolly, Jerry Ferrara, a.nd Perrey Reeves are all excellent. Kevin Dillon and Rex Lee are sometimes over the top, but the best of the show is Jeremy Pevin. I think Entourage began as a show about the main character, Vince Chase (Grenier), and often it still is, but it has become just as much, if not more, about Pevin's character, the agent, Ari Gold, and I think I like the even show more because of that.

This isn't my favorite season, kind of dull compared to the others, but I still enjoyed watching it because I just love the characters. Ari Gold is my favorite, I love Jeremy Piven. There are special appearances from so many celebrities, this season has: Tony Bennett, Whoopi Goldberg, Seth Green, Gary Cole, Martin Scorsese, 50 Cent, Bob Saget, Zac Efron and more. Funny show, great characters. Highly recommended, but do not watch it around children.
